She is the beauty of a starlit night. Full of Grace and free of sin, she has been the devotion of kings and peasants alike, as well as the middle class of the 1950s. Men and women in all generations will call her blessed, because he who is mighty has done great things for her. To call her blessed is in accordance with scripture. To not do so makes you yet another anti-Christ, no matter how many times you rant, "Praise the Lord."

Ronald Reagan, the Great Liar; not great communicator

During the Reagan years, the truth came in miserly trickles.

This is posted at the Marian site, because it's extremely important for members of the
only church ever founded by Christ to quit presenting the adulterer and perpetual liar,
Ronald Reagan, as the guiding light of the ages. Firstly, Reaganomics is always a di-
saster, as the Great Recession of 2008 proved, as well as the 1982 unemployment rate
of 10.8% and the October 19, 1987 Stock Market Crash. Therefore, you must quite
treating him as a replacement for all the canonized saints of the church. You do an
injustice to them when you praise a Ronald Reagan who only had the prowess of a
1920s bookkeeper and who was nothing more than a corporate advertising pitch
man for various products, including cigarettes which are not the most healthy
things on earth..

Contained herein are links to a number of newspaper articles written about Ronald
'O-ring' Reagan during the actual Reagan years. Those articles are journalism at
point zero range, chronologically speaking. They constitute journalism complete-
ly free of time distortions and altered historical accounts. They serve the function
of the evidence that Reagan was neither the great prophet, nor the enlightening sage,
nor the fearless warrior that the right wing world made him out to be ... that he was
NOT Mount Rushmore material, to state it politely.

Reagan caused a lot of harm to Americans who weren't the richest of the rich. He
caused so much harm to America that the Reagan years consisted in picking up the
pieces of American wreckage, after he signed something into law or set forth an
executive order.

By his life and by his deeds, Reagan taught us one thing:. . . that the exceptionally stupid lie an exceptional amount of times.

For those of you brainwashed into believing that Ronald 'O-Ring" Reagan was the
greatest man to ever live, the following links will provide you with an eye-opening
and mind-liberating education. Reagan was a chronic liar during an era when there
was no internet fact checking capability.

The news articles linked from this page are in the Must Read status. Included are a
few commentaries written around the general time span of Reagan's 100th birthday.
They mostly concentrate on how much of a liar Reagan was. Those added articles
are also Must Reads. They'll answer all questions but one: When did Reagan not lie? If you were there, in the Reagan years ... and if you were not a yuppie ... you
would understand.

when Reagan entered office, the U.S. was the largest creditor nation on earth.

In contrast, under Gerald Ford, the United States was the second largest exporting
nation in the world. Plus, under Gerald Ford, the number of Americans living be-
low the poverty line diminished. Despite this successful economic state of affairs,
Reagan ran against Ford in 1976, as if there were cause to do so.

Under Reagan, from 1981 to 1983, the number of Americans living below the
poverty line went from 31,822,000 to 35,303,000. The comfortable Ronald
Reagan was NOT one of them.http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0104525.html

In 1987, the U.S. was still the top debtor nation on earth. Reagan kept making
America weaker.

1} The worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression emerged. 2} As was
previously mentioned, in 1985 the US turned from top creditor nation to top debtor
nation. 3} What wasn't mentioned yet was that, also in 1985, the first of many S&L
bank failures occurred. It resulted in a bank holiday being declared in an Ohio where
the deposit-insurance reserve had been drained. 4} Then came the following year,
when the Tax Reform Act of 1986 was signed into law, along with the repeal of a
real estate investor's "passive activity deduction" which turned the Ohio S&L Crisis
into an eventual national phenomenon, in combination with fraud, deregulation, and
Reagan's obsession with decreasing inflation, while not keeping the prime interest rate
down. 5} The piece de resistance of the Reagan Years occurred on October 19, 1987.
That was when the Stock Market Crashed.

This leads us to the ultimate and quintessential question for the Reagan Propaganda
Machine: What Reagan Recovery?

The Savings & Loan Crisis began on Reagan's watch, and eventually cost the Ameri-
can taxpayer $124 billion. Now, the S&L Crisis and the Stock Market Crash occurred
late in Reagan's presidency. Therefore, they were the product of Reagan's configura-
tion of the economy (his sabotage of it.) Furthermore, being that they occurred so
late in his presidency, he couldn't blame them on Jimmy Carter.

The commentaries written in the vicinity of Reagan's 100th birthday are also posted
here, after the 1960s, 70s, and 80s articles. A few articles written at the turn of the
century are also linked here. The 100th birthday commentaries were published by
the various media entities with the intent to inform the world that the adulation of
Ronald 'Iran/Contra' Reagan was nothing more than lying propaganda, in order
to deceive humanity into making the obscenely wealthy more obscenely wealthy.

My sites are counterweights for a Disinformation Age overrun by manipulative liars. The objective is to be a catalyst in righting wrongs.

I actually did earn academic honors in economics, as well as in foreign languages and accounting, even to the point of being inducted into the Phi Sigma Iota honors fraternity. .

I've been published along side laureates and even have literature on a Harvard library shelf, at Northwestern Univ, and a few other places.

Living in the city taught me that city folk naturally hone their people skills and are far more friendly than country folk. In fact, country folk can be inarticulate, ornery, and clannish, in their shot-gun territorialism.
